My trash is in three types:
Food waste - Compost it
Non-burnable, non food - (Metal) take to my downtown office and drop in the street trash bin (I pay Louisville income tax even though I don’t live there, so this is what I get for my tax dollars)
Everything else - burn it.
1) Food waste - Compost it
This necessarily gives off CO2 contributing to global warning. Therefore WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!
2) Non-burnable, non food - (Metal) take to my downtown office and drop in the street trash bin.
Melting the metal down uses electricity or fossil fuels. This also necessarily gives off CO2 contributing to global warning. Therefore WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!
3) Everything else - burn it.
On this one clearly WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!
We’ve been doing this for years. We keep our trash placed in public trash cans (Walmart, gas stations, shopping malls etc) down to the size of a Walmart plastic bag and no one ever gives us a second look.
And like you, food waste goes directly to the garden to be tilled under (our way of composting) and everything else we burn.
